Bottom (Nick)

,

the weaver. A man who fancies he can do everything, and do it better than anyone else. Shakespeare has drawn him as profoundly ignorant, brawny, mock heroic, and with an overflow of self-conceit. He is in õne part of Midsummer Night’s Dream represented with an ass’s head, and Titania, queen of the fairies, under a spell, caresses him as an Adoʹnis.
